family to st. Paul this week We under.
stand he will enter loan Office in St.

Decker & Lewis have completed the
addition in the rear of their store, con-
siderably frightening and improving the
room. Makes an elegant large, light and
airy room now. Decker says that Ned
Lewis had got such motion on him that
they were compelled to enlarge the build
ing, that Ned might have room to turn
around in.
Geo. Litchfield has workmen employ
ed on his brick store just south of Kaiser
s GuineYs, putting IN new front rails
Ing the second story floor, and otherwise
improving the building. The old front
has been entirely tern down, and new
pressed brick front will be put in its
place. 1t will make fine looking build
Ing when completed.
The various railways of the North
west are maxim elaborate efforts to OBJ
tain the most perfect representation of
the varied resources along their lines.
The Northern Pacific, Manitoba and the
Milwaukee s. St. Paul roads have been
engaged for several months in obtaining
the vegetable, animal and mineral speci-
mems, which will be contained in their
displays. This feature of the Exposition
it is said will be even more complete than
it was at the New Orleans Worlds Expo

| Our merchants, some of them have
been quite active this week. in moving
and getting settled down in new quarters.
A. Z. Case moving out gives Horrobin &
Rice more room, and they have over
hauled and replaced their goods, now
having their store in very attractive
shape. Sweningsen has taken possession
of his new store, second door south of
post and Folsom has moved his
stock into the new building adjoining.
Still the wheel goes round, and every
thing moves along as though nothing had
happened.
1t is said that one hundred and seven
ty-three exhibits in the Minneapolis Ex-
position will consist of manufacturing
processes, or of machinery of an inter
esting nature in molten. Manufactur-
ing of almost every kind will be repre-
sented, and many processes that have
never been seen in the west. These are,
the manufacture of gold pens and pen
ellis, manufacture of decorated and enam-
eled tinware. manufacture of mother-of
pearl ornaments, weaving of oriental
rugs. coming of medals, spinning of brass
dishes, etc.
The hoodlums who attended the
thaetre Monday night were quite severe
" admonlshed by the management of
company, and they deserved every word
of it too. 1t is shameful the way few
of these rowdys perform, talk and laugh.
1t not only disturbs the performers, but
annovs everybody about them, wholly
destroying the entertainment. If they
do not have decency enough to get out
side to do their laughing and playing. the
police should see that they either behave
or leave, and give those who wish a
chance to enjoy the play.
Our farmers were having great times
last week to get twine to bind their grain
with. Every dealer in the city was clear
out, not ball left. Every body abou,
US seemed to be in about the same con-
ditlon we were, and it seemed for time
as though there would be a Irvine famine.
After considerable difficulty and tele-
graphing however, some of the merchants
succeeded in getting small quantity,
which was largely gobbled up by the
farmers as soon as it could reach the city.
Cant be that chinch bugs have taken
everything, judging by the demand and
the amount of Irvine used, aud surely
the farmers would not buy the Irvine if
they did not have the grain to tie up with
it. A few days now and we shall begin
to know the results of the harvest. BY
the way. when you thresh, please send US
areport of the yield and grade of the
new crop.
